Abstract
A 9-part digital comic for young adults (YA) aged 16-25 providing an alternative, character-based narrative about a pandemic. Co-created with young adults from across the globe, multidisciplinary researchers and experts, renowned comic writers and artists, PlanetDivoc91 offers audiences diverse perspectives on how to make sense of a pandemic. It connects and empowers YA - whose voices have been marginal in the COVID crisis - to be heard in current and future pandemic research and policy. This proposal builds on work already started in the UK and internationally, to extend in greater depth globally, particularly in India and South Africa (SA).
